The Deadwood Pioneer, which in the
past has been extremely chary of hel
encouraging comments upon the tin out.
look in the Southern Hills, has mtteri.
ally changed its tone, as evidenced by
the following clipped from late issue
Of that paper:
"We congratulate Rapid and Custer
on account of the favorable turn in tin
matters, as we feel confident the ex-
perts' report will be favorable to the
extent of spending several hundred
thousand dollars of outside money in
developing the southern Hills tin pros
poets. Even parties making what are
considered by the friends of Harney
adverse reports, claim that the tin pros
poets are good enough to warrant the
expenditure of a great deal of money in
their development, and had the deal
been in this shape at first, no one would
probably have said word against it.
We should only be too glad to see
$500, 900 of outside money brought into
Lawrence county to help develop our
mines instead of having to levy assess
ment and pay for the development work
ourselves"

Custer Mines.

Ira Gilman, who has been assaying in
Custer county the past six weeks, came
up Sunday evening and will return in q
few days with his new assay outfit. Mr..
Gilman expresses it as his unqualified
opinion that Custer county has within
her boundaries the most valuable gold
mines in the Hills. The gold ores are
tellurium or refractory and not only
high grade, but the bodies are larger
than in any other portion of the Hills.
The only thing that has retarded devei-
opment is that owners have been trying
to extract the metal by the stamp mill
process, and hence the results obtained
have been discouraging Assays from
the Old Bill run as high as 81 400, and
from nearly 100 assays made on the
Omega the lowest was Sill l.62, and the
highest $2S9.5S. But little attention
has been devoted to silver, but that it
exists in paying quantities in the lime
stone ridge there can be no doubt.
b AS to copper and tin, the only draw
uack is that there is too much of it, and
Mess art or mechanics find new uses
for it there will be an oyer production.
This, however, will in a measure be re-
medied by one company or syndicate
getting control Of the most valuable
ocations.-Pioneer, llth.

The coal burned readily afiording abun-
Gant heat. Today two four-horse teams
begin hauling to Deadwood, and in a
day or two as many four OK teams will
be put on the road, it being the inten-
ton of Mr.. Fox to ascertain the mini
mum cost of delivery to the Deadwood
market, when a regular price will be es-
tablished. 1t now looks as though coal
could be delivered to consumers of this
locality at not to exceed $l2 tom

Dennis Mcclure, Of Custer, who has
been in town for some time, is an old
prospector of Custer county, in the
mineral wealth of which he has unlimit-
ed faith. He states that telluride gold
ores are found in number Of the mines
over there, as has been demonstrated by
repeated and thorough tests. He re-
turns home in day or two.-Journal, 6.
Mr. Mcclure has spent much time
during the last two years in the study of
metallurgy, and in making experimental
tests upon the refractory ores of this
locality, which have so long baffled the
skill of experts in their efforts to de-
termine it's true character and now
claims to have discovered process by
which they may be pro6tably reduced,
which we trust he may be enabled 10
demonstrate to the satisfaction Of the
faculty at the school of mines, and the
miners of the Black Hills at large.

At their regular monthly meeting
held on the 5th ins., the directors of
the Iron Hill company declared another
8 cent dividend, aggregating $l2,5OO,
payable on the Goth. The total divi.
dends to date foot up $l37,5OO 1t is
claimed that the surplus on hand was
sufficient to have justified a 10 cent
dividend, but strong disposition upon
the part of the directors to guard against
all possible contingen cies in the future,
resulted in their declaring the smaller
dividend, which is generally accepted
as being an act of wisdom on their part.

THE TAX 0GsTION

Is ever important, and Is yet an unsOlv-
ed problem. Taxation according to
ability to pay is a recognized principle,
though, under our Federal system as
established by the Republican party, Is
not applied.
An income tax has many advocates In
this country; and from foreign paper
we get hint Of a new scheme Of taxa
tion, applied with considerable success
in one of the cantons Of Switzerland,
which will be closely watched by all
who take an interest In pOliticO-ecO-
nomlC questions. This new law, In Op-
Grafton in the canton OF Vaud, divides
real property into three classes, accord
ing as 1t falls below $1,000, between $5,-
600 and $4,000. or over $2O, 900 In value.
The proportion Of tax is to be per 1,C00
for the first class, ~ per 1000 for the
second class, and 3 per 1000 for the
third class. Personal property falls into
seven classes, the lowest class being less
than 5000 In value, and the highest
over 100000. The rates Of taxation on
these classes are to be In the proportion
of 1, ~, 2, 276 8, 81 and 4. resDect'
lively per 1000. Incomes from earnings
are similarly put In seven classes; but,
In estimating the amount to be taxed, a
deduction is made amounting to $50 for
each person legally dependent on the
head Of the family for hls support.
This plan combines tax on incomes
as we'll as fixed capital. represented by
money, bonds or real estste. The pro-
ject Is undoubtedly popular, for when
submitted to the people, as Is necessary
for the enactment Of tax laws in Switz.
erIand, 1t was passed by very large ma
iOritiee.

Markets In OTHER COUNTRIES.

Every reader Of Dickens remembers
very vividly description Of the circum.
locutlon office, bureau of the British
government, In which the clerks ably
succeeded In not doing the business
brought to their attention. The editor
Of the Repository must have read this
production Of Dickens, and being a
practical sort Of person, applied the idea
to the burning question, why 1t is thst
labor Is so festiVe. In an editorial on
Friday last 1t says, "there are vast mar
kets outside Of this country not util-
lied, which would do wonders In quiet
ing the struggles Of labor for continu-
ous employment and higher wages. The
nations efforts would:have been directed
toward this II Republication had been
put in power at the last national cleo

The above is certainly unique

on question now foremost In Ameri-
can politics. In the Forty-ninth Con

cause the. tariff gives practical monopoly
to few. Take the item Of salt, which
enters largely into the manufacture OF
soap, and q single citizen Of Canton Is
obliged to pay tribute to the extent Of
about $1,000 in single year. This is not
all the indirect taxation. he pays on
every article forming the component
parts Of soap except grease. As long as

sPECIMENs OF CLOTH,

A carpet merchant Of Vienna has
curious collection of ancient w0Ollen
and linen cloths, including more than
three hundred specimens. Many Of
them have been taken from tombs, and
are stretched on folios Of cardboard to
preserve them. Some Of the fragments
are only foot square, but the larger
ones make mp an entire Roman tOga,
which Is said to be the only one In the
world. There are q great many en-.
brOldered dresses, and deal Of knitting
and crewel work. Double chain stitch
seems to have been az familiar to the
Egyptian seamstresses, sewing with
bone needles, as 1t ls to modern women.
There are some very quaint and unusual
designs In the old collection Of cloths,
but there are also some very common
things. 1t Is curious to find that the
